I am not quite sure which species it is - but either nuda or mecalyptra

Without an image of the leaf I would be inclined to call this pauciflora complex rather than peniculata.
Strigo, nuda and megcalyptra have taller columns, and the tepals are a bit more slender and don't overlap as much.

I will get you a picture of the orchid plus leave - we just need a sunny day...
